Details extracted from visual and radio reports submitted to the SPA Meteor Section over the Leonid epoch in 2001 November are given. The two storm-strength maxima on November 18 were well-observed by radio and visual methods. A possible, though poorly-observed, peak near the nodal crossing time on November 17, 12h-14h UT (lambda app. 235.27 deg; eq. J2000.0), with ZHR=35+-9, can be inferred too. Other interesting facets included a brief resurgence to storm level suggested by visual data around November 18, 12h10m+-5m UT (lambda=236.2+-0.004 deg), after the North American storm peak, and a app. 50-minute-long "plateau" of almost storm lever rates (mean EZHR=940+-170) after the Far East peak on November 18, between 18h45m-19h35m UT (lambda=236.48-236.51 deg). Radio data indicates a further peak at 6h-7h UT on November 18 (lambda=235.94-235.98 deg), but this was unconfirmed by the visual results. Some discussion of these events in regard to the main dust filament theoretical peaks is given, along with a selection of personal recollection by Section correspondents.
